His body is not something he's proud of. It's not strong, durable, or particularly nice to look at. For the most part, he gets to hide it under layers of clothing, collars buttoned up and then hidden under ties. T-shirts still make him uncomfortable, for goodness sake. And now? Now he has to deal with the fact that someone else is wearing it. Someone else has to deal with his lanky limbs, has to see them, and if he wants his body taken care of, there's nothing he can do about it. It's so much easier to focus on his magical aspects...
"I don't mind," he lies, trying not to look as uncomfortable about all this as he feels. At least the sickening feeling all of this brings is significantly numbed. Presumably from being dead. "The only things you do need to do are drink a particular tea and sleep in a particular bed."
